In synucleinopathies such as Parkinson’s disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy body (DLB), pathological alpha-synuclein (α-syn) aggregates are found in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract as well as in the brain. In this study, using real-time quaking-induced conversion (RT-QuIC), we investigated the presence of α-syn seeding activity in the brain and colon tissue of G2-3 transgenic mice expressing human A53T α-syn. Here we show that pathological α-syn aggregates with seeding activity were present in the colon of G2-3 mice as early as 3 months old, which is in the presymptomatic stage prior to the observation of any neurological abnormalities. In contrast, α-syn seeding activity was not detectable in 3 month-old mouse brains and only identified at 6 months of age in one of three mice. In the symptomatic stage of 12 months of age, RT-QuIC seeding activity was consistently detectable in both the brain and colon of G2-3 mice. Our results indicate that the RT-QuIC assay can presymptomatically detect pathological α-syn aggregates in the colon of G2-3 mice several months prior to their detection in brain tissue.

We measured cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of the soluble isoforms of amyloid precursor protein (APP; sAPPαsAPPβ) and other CSF biomarkers in 107 patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), dementia with Lewy body dementia (DLB), Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD), and normal controls (NC) using commercial kits. DLB and PDD were combined in a Lewy body dementia group (LBD). No differences were observed in sAPPαand sAPPβlevels between the groups. Significant correlations were observed between sAPPαand sAPPβand between sAPPβand Mini-Mental State Examination scores in the total group analysis as well as when LBD and AD groups were analyzed separately. sAPPαand sAPPβlevels correlated with Aβ38, Aβ40, Aβ42, and Tau in the LBD group. In AD, sAPPαcorrelated with p-Tau and sAPPβwith Aβ40. The differential association between sAPPαand sAPPβwith Aβand Tau species between LBD and AD groups suggests a possible relationship with the underlying pathologies in LBD and AD.
